It felt miraculous to her.
"Maybe it's because I'm having so much fun at your house that | don't feel like sleeping." Anastasia tried to rationalize with herself.
"If that's the case, I'll cover here more often. Lily, you won't hatefor that, will you?"
Lily smiled. "Of course not, but..."
She paused for a moment before she stretched her hand out. "I'll have to charge you for your meals!"
Instantly, Anastasia broke into laughter, amused by this woman in front of her. "Okay! No problem!"
She slapped Lily's hand lightly, and the two shook hands with a smile on both their faces.
Anastasia went hafter dinner. A few minutes after she left, Alexander's car pulled in.

Initially, Lily was waiting to greet him with a smile, but as soon as she saw him, she felt something was amiss. The couple had been
together for so long that they could detect a subtle change in emotion at a glance.
Without asking anything, she patiently waited for him to cover before she softly asked, "Are you tired? Have you eaten? I'll get
the maids to warm up sfood. Rest, and I'll bring sfood over to you in a bit."
Alexander raised his eyes to look at her. The fatigue in his eyes was evident, but he did not say a word.
"I'll get them to do it right away!" With that, Lily turned around, but Alexander quickly grabbed her. "It's okay. I'm just about to
leave."
"Now?!" She widened her eyes in surprise. She thought she must have misheard him.
Although it was not yet midnight, it was still getting late. It was already dark outside, so Lily wondered where her husband would
be going at this time.
At this moment, Galen overheard his father's voice and ran over. "Daddy, daddy!"
Seeing his son, Alexander bent down and pulled him close for a snuggle. After a moment, Alexander let go and said, "Daddy has
something to do and will be away for a few days. Make sure you stay hand be a good boy to your mommy, okay?"
"Huh?" The little boy did not understand as his face scrunched into a frown.
Lily quickly regained her senses and asked, "Where are you going? How long will you be away? Do you needto pack anything
for you?"
"It's fine. If all goes well, it'll take about three to four days. | chto get a change of clothes and to inform you. I'll leave
right after this. The car is waiting foroutside," he explained.
When Lily turned to look, his car engine was still running, seemingly like the driver was waiting for him. It seemed like it was an
emergency.

"Then, you should get going. I'll make sfood so you can eat before you go. | don't want you to starve." Lily knew what he was
going to say and did not give him a chance to object. With a gentle pat on his arm, she continued, "I'll be fast. It won't take long."
Alexander looked into her eyes deeply as he swallowed back his words and nodded slightly. "Okay."
With that, he went upstairs to change. Galen was upset because he saw that his father wasn't paying much attention to him.
"Mommy... Daddy, he..."
"Daddy's busy today. Be a good boy and play with Daisy." As she spoke, she gestured for Daisy to keep him occupied. Then she
ordered a maid to prepare sfood in the kitchen.
Alexander had changed his clothes and cdownstairs just in time.
When he sat down, Lily had already placed a bowl of soup before him and dismissed the maids. Then she softly asked, "What
happened?"
She had rarely seen him like this since they had been together, so she assumed something serious must have happened.
